Hi,
I am looking to buy new drive shafts and found some made by ggr but they
Are 10mm longer..how hard are they to fit as they are longer and also some complete i found on ebay for almost half price of ggr...
Does anybody have those on their cars..is it better just to replace inner and outer cv joints or just to buy complete
Any info would be great...oh it is for 4x4 escos
Thanks

I think 10mm longer won't hurt, it helps with lowered cars. Easy to fit as a whole.

I am not sure if the escos has the reverse thread on the passenger side like a Sierra but expect it does as based on saph. Easy enough to change as long as the bolts don't round off and as long as you can undo the big nut on the end. I used an impact gun.

Thanks for reply..so servo rack ends fits fine..good to know...do you know maybe are the ebay ones ok..

I suspect the ggr ones are better. I have ebay ones on my 4x4 with 500ftlb of torque but it has only done a few hundred miles on them so don't really know. I think that if you are making over 400 ftlb, especially low down, with a good lsd diff then the extra money is worth it, less power and an open diff (I think all std front diffs are open) then less of an issue. Also depends on how you drive it.

Thanks for good info...i have front titan motorsport lsd diff but on last dyno session i blew front shaft bearing and cv joints so got to only 468nm...
Anyhow great advice thanks...i think than i will get ggr ones althou on ebay pictures both look the same
Cheers
